I'm not afraid to loose what I created. 8 years ago, I lost 200 tracks. When I realized it, I decided consciously to make it a good experience, no grief at all.
I found it to be a formidable opportunity to start fresh, change my process, change my habits and create more!
80% of the tracks on my account are private. I mostly use Soundcloud as a musical post-it system so I can easily listen to my productions in different settings (car, friend's hifi system, earphones etc.), share tracks with label in a "secure" fashion.
I was really saddened to see they introduced ads even for people who actually pay for their service, I felt literally betrayed and angry but fortunately it did not last long. However it leaves traces.
I still find it amazing that they did not introduce basic filters for the stream, like "just grab house mixes at least 45 minutes long"...
Anyway, I am still quite happy with the service even if I could do the same on my own dedicated server, minus the social network thing.
I just wish them good luck but I hope that their longevity will not be due to ads served even to subscribers...
Also I just stumbled upon this article about Khipus that have been recently uncovered:

This reminds me of the tiny project I built where you basically click one bit at a time to collectively generate an abstruse binary stream:
Amazing.
If you are interested in the subject I highly recommand the documentary about the whole survival trip:

I commute by bike everyday, 10 km, in a medium city in the french alps. Every single day I encounter a situation where I am concretely in danger. French drivers suck and simply don't care about bike riders.
When you ride a bicycle in Berlin or Tokyo you truly sense what it's like to be actually considered, and it changes all your interface with the city!
We estimate that the company should earn around 25k € every month so we could quit our jobs but again our costs are very low so far.
I'm not sure to properly understand your question here ; you want to have a side business so you can concentrate on your main startup?
Anyway, good luck with your business(es)!
Our ultimate goal is NOT to get rich, is NOT to be famous, is NOT to be valued billions of rubles.
We want to be free, we want to work on the projects that motivate us, we want to make our own decisions and decide when it's good to work and when it's not.
For me this is the most motivating part of this adventure. I can totally relate to this article and it even gives me hope in our way of doing things.
Without jq, you can still pipe to python json.tool module:
$ curl http://domain.com | python -m json.tool
I just had to tweak the recording command with the following to get it working properly: `script -ttimingfile typescript`.
No space between -t and timingfile.

The Metro 500 comes with an easy to remove clip that allows you to keep the mount on the bike while you get your light safe. Handy, but can break in cold weather due to plastic resistance.
500 lumen is quite enough for my needs.
* switch to Redis instead of MySQL
* keyboard input
* better rate limiting
* stats: 0/1 proportions
* stats: geolocalized data
* stats: hourly distribution (heatmap)
* entropy calculation
* API to get json data of latest n bits
* bits -> grey scale image generated in realtime ...
There are lots of tiny bugs on this experiment. I actually started it as the regular node js chat tutorial, and figured out it would be fun to create a femto-blogging platform as you might see in the about page.
I'm still working on fixing bugs and improve rate limiting.
